The New Generation of Ukrainian Filmmakers, plus the Ukrainian Film Club's website launch

[Diana Howansky]

The Ukrainian Film Club of Columbia University presents

“The New Generation of Ukrainian Filmmakers: Taras Tomenko, Valentyn
Vasyanovych and Olena Fetisova.”

This event will feature four short-length, award-winning feature and
documentary films: Tomenko’s “Shooting Gallery” (2001) and “Parched
Land” (2004), Vasyanovych’s “Against the Sun” (2004), and Fetisova’s “If
I Were a Saxophone” (2004). These most recent films coming out of
Ukraine will provide viewers with a good picture of the new generation’s
creative promise. It is Ukrainian filmmakers like these three that
prompted a an influential film critic to compare cinema in Ukraine today
with that of post-war France about to give birth to its captivating
“Nouvelle Vague” (New Wave) cinema.

The Ukrainian Film Club’s brand-new website --
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/ufc -- will also be presented at this event.

The films will be shown in their original Ukrainian versions with
English sub-titles. Introduction by Dr. Yuri Shevchuk, lecturer of
Ukrainian language and Culture, Columbia University. The screening will
be followed by a discussion.

Time:  Thursday, March 10 at 7:30 PM
Place: 717 Hamilton Hall, Columbia University, 1130 Amsterdam Ave., New
York, NY
